When you sit down to draw, your head is not always filled with ideas of easy cool & fun things to draw because creativity is not continuous and cannot be forced. Even great artists have difficulty in trying to decide which things to draw so it is safe to say that it is quite a common problem and you should not worry that you are not a great artist.

Are you having an art block and cannot simply decide what to draw when bored?

Since our focus is to relax the mind, let us look at a list of easy things draw that you can pencil down without causing a headache and without wasting a lot of energy.

Grapes

Grapes are not only yummy to eat but they are impossibly easy to draw as you would just need to make a lot of circles and give them a little texture to make them look realistic.

Airplane

You might think that it is difficult to draw an airplane but you can complete the task without a problem if you just imagine yourself flying one and let your fingers automatically take over in drawing the parts of the plane

Human Eye

Since we all have eyes, it makes it easier to draw it as you can just close your eyes, imagine an eye and pen it on the paper. If you want to go for a realistic look then remember to draw the lashes, iris and pupil.

Wheel

Wheel is an ingenious yet a simple invention and it is also simple to draw it. It is so simple to draw that we will go as far as saying that even a child of 5 years old can draw it.

Cricket Bat

It is surprising that many people are not familiar with the wonderful game that is cricket. While playing the game, one feels powerful holding the bat and that is how you should feel while drawing it.

Fish is perhaps the best pet to ever own and it is the easiest to take care of too and when it comes to drawing a fish, you can easily do so by recalling your own or someone else’s pet fish.

Foot Print

A foot print is simple enough to draw but we feel that it is also a super interesting thing to draw especially if you pair it with an intriguing background on which it is seen.

Toolbox

Since we were kids, we have wanted to go in the garage and check out the toolbox to see all the tools it has in it but sadly we were never allowed which is why you should draw it and fill it with all kinds of tools that you like.

Puzzle Piece

A puzzle piece is the most fascinating thing ever and you will find it so easy to draw because it has not definite shape and you can draw it however you want it to be; it is completely up to your imagination.

Banana

You might consider it beneath you to draw a banana but it is one of the most important inanimate objects in art which is why even professionals start off a class by making everyone draw a banana so you should do it too.

Knives are things that are present in every house and since it is such a common kitchen appliance, we have the curves and lines memorized which means that we can draw it whenever we want.

Leaves

Leaves are intricate and delicate things that can be wickedly beautiful but surprisingly, they are easy enough to draw if you just put your mind to it.

Train Tracks

We feel that train tracks are marginally easy to draw as compared to other things because you just need to make two long vertical lines and short horizontal lines in between them.

Candle

Drawing the wax part of the candle is not hard because you just need to draw a stick but the flame can be hard to draw so do practice that.

Heart

We all have been drawing hearts since childhood so you can make one too and it is up to you whether you draw a whole one, a broken one or any other kind.

Moon & Stars

Moon and stars always seem so magical that people hesitate in drawing them because they are scared that they won’t be able to catch the beauty but it is not difficult so trust in yourself and draw.

In this category, we will list ideas of things to draw that are cool, bizarre and unusual. While drawing the list, you would feel a spark of creativity as you will be drawing each of the object that we have listed below.

Lips

Lips might seem easy to draw but they would prove to be difficult if you do not pay attention.

In a mirror, you can observe your own lips and try to replicate them on a paper by imitating the curves and edges of your own lips.

Scissors

It is the tool that we were not allowed to play with as a kid and always seemed too cool and intimidating for us but you can make it come to life with a pen and a paper. All you need to do is get the dimensions and the proportions right and voila! If you want the scissors to look interesting then we suggest that you draw a scissors that is partially open.

Foot in Snow

You can draw it by making a circle which blue and red lines and white stars.

Cartoon Kitten

It is safe to say that everyone loves kittens and a kitten which is seen in most cartoons is beyond cute. You can practice by drawing a real kitten and then move onto the cartoon one.

Bat

Bats would only be cool if you draw them upside down with their eyes and wings open as they hang from the ceiling of a cave full of other bats.

Batman Shield

Shields of any superhero are crazy cool because they are the identity of that superhero and serve as a sort of a body guard and anything that protects a superhero is cool.

Ninja Kid

Since childhood, everyone acknowledges that ninjas are cool and ninja kids are fascinating because they are small, fast, wearing all black, stealthy etc.

Superman

An ear is one of the most important parts of the human body without which we can’t hear and it is fun to draw it because it is difficult with all its ridges, curves and what not.

Many people are unable to draw a glass of water; they can draw the glass easily enough but they cannot show enough depth to depict water in it which is why it is such a challenge.

Camera is the device which captures pictures of other things so you should try capturing its image by drawing it on a piece of paper and trying to get every part and button right.

Eiffel Tower

Whenever someone says Paris, one thinks of the Eiffel Tower which is also considered to be a symbol of love but it is not easy enough to draw because of its complex structure so keep practicing till you get it right.
